Optical Data of UM1976-06-BO:HMgNaSUHide

Type:
Uniaxial (-)
RI values:
nα = 1.496 nγ = 1.512
Max. Birefringence:
δ = 0.000
Based on recorded range of RI values above.

Interference Colours:
The colours simulate birefringence patterns seen in thin section under crossed polars. They do not take into account mineral colouration or opacity.

Michel-Levy Bar The default colours simulate the birefringence range for a 30 µm thin-section thickness. Adjust the slider to simulate a different thickness.

Grain Simulation You can rotate the grain simulation to show how this range might look as you rotated a sample under crossed polars.

Surface Relief:
Moderate
Pleochroism:
Weak
Comments:
colorless (X), yellowish (Z)
Comments:
nearly uniaxial
